Exile…or exotic affair?

Celeste McMillan is well on her way to achieving her dream of a perfect career—until she’s forced to practice self-defense against a lecherous billionaire. The encounter just might cost her everything. To add insult to injury, she’s been ordered to take a long vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii. For a career-driven woman like Celeste, it feels more like exile.

Things start looking up when she meets sexy, tattooed surfer Kanoe Anakalea. Maybe a fun, exotic affair is exactly what she needs. Instead, she plunges headfirst into a sea of emotions more powerful than she could ever have imagined.

There’s more to Kanoe Anakalea than meets the eye. Much more. Though he’s a laid-back local boy on the outside, on the inside he’s driven—by love of his homeland and family, and his determination to succeed. At first glance, Celeste seems to be just another pale, uppity tourist. The last thing he expects is to be blindsided by love.

When Kanoe and Celeste get together, it’s as intense as an erupting volcano in the balmy Hawaiian air. But despite the fireworks, they both know separation is inevitable. Celeste only has ten days. And everyone knows vacation flings can’t last.

Or can they?

Warning, this title contains the following: Graphic language, sex on and around a tropical island, a little voyeurism, exhibitionism and bondage, and some very creative uses of a surfboard.

    “Kanoe’s character has been developed with lavish attention. I loved uncovering all the layers that kept his personality hidden from view. His passion for life and his roots were as strong as the feelings he later developed for Celeste. Their fierce attraction helps the relationship develop at top-notch speed…The issues between the lead pair and their resolution turn 10 Days in Paradise into a wonderful but deep read with the backdrop of the beautiful and romantic island.”
